The lot is the story here. Eight-tenths of an acre in a small North Dakota town, with a two-stall garage, a one-stall garage, and a shed on top of that. If you run equipment, keep ATVs, store gear for hunting season, or just need room to spread out without a neighbor ten feet away, this setup is hard to replicate. The house is almost secondary to the infrastructure around it.
The house itself is a 1920 build, 1,600 square feet, three bedrooms and 1.75 baths. A century-old home in rural North Dakota means you should go in with eyes open about the mechanicals. The listing uses the phrase "warm and inviting" without naming a single system date, which tells you what it tells you. No mention of when the furnace, roof, or electrical were touched. That is the homework before you make an offer, because unknowns in a 104-year-old house are real money.
Streeter puts you in prime hunting and fishing territory, and the two garages plus shed make this a functional base for that kind of life. The yard is large enough to do something with, and the property spans two addresses, 223 and 227 Helen St S, which may be worth understanding before closing.
The price needs a direct look. At $112,500, this is listed well above the zip code's thin-market median. It has sat for 479 days and dropped about 25 percent from its original ask, landing at roughly 89.5 percent of list on recent sales in the area. That history is a signal and also a lever. In a market this slow and this buyer-favoring, there is room to negotiate, especially given the unanswered questions about condition.
What you get for the price, if the house checks out mechanically, is a lot of land, a lot of storage, and a hundred-year-old home with genuine space in a part of North Dakota that hunters and anglers actually want to be in.
